12-year-old gets 3 animals across 3 hunts

Jenna Rahn, 12, of Helena, started her first year of hunting by getting three different animals across three different hunts last year. Rahn got a bighorn sheep on Oct. 2, 2015. Rahn and her father, Joseph, took a boat 5 miles up the Missouri River from the McClelland Ferry when they spotted a herd of sheep on the rim of the Missouri Breaks. Joseph remarked that he couldn’t believe that Rahn would make the 2-mile walk straight up to take down the sheep. Rahn took the sheep at 275 yards with one shot.

Rahn got a white-tailed deer during the youth hunt with her mother. She took the deer in one shot on the Bird Creek Conservation easement south of Great Falls.

Rahn also got an elk during the second day of big game season last year. As with the sheep and deer, Rahn took the elk down in one shot on the south end of the Little Belt Mountains.
